1. Something witty in his profile that either made me nostalgic OR made me laugh.2. Something in the forums that resonates with me.3. Something in the forums that frankly I disagree with and want to provide a perspective without calling the person out in public.

I think the others have it down. I think pictures are always helpful and profile.. forums help as you gain a sense of their personality. I really don't pay much attention to to whether they are single or in a relationship.. since my converations are usually topic or friendship based.

If I see someone post something interesting, funny, or even controversial, I'll check out their profile. If they seem friendly, intelligent, and approachable, I'll email them with a comment based on their post.

If they don't have pics posted, I'm less inclined to contact them. It's not about attraction or the hopes of hooking up, I just like to see the person I'm talking to.

I usually message people regarding health and fitness. Cdnclub know that. I ask about building my body or diets tips. stuff like that. Sometimes we will start talking about other things and we start to form a friendship.

1) a stunning smile2) an interesting post3) a body to aspire to4) a body you want to do something else to5) to discuss a forum post6) an interesting profile comment7) to share humour and sometimes just for the hell of it

Usually if he's interesting or has something in common with me , especially if he's from my country or arab ..But I check out the new profiles of RJ daily and look on the pics hoping to find someone interesting (or hot enough) to PM him.. so look is'nt less imoportant..And honestly? I usually don't PM anyone.. unless it's a special case (ex: forum post)

I read their profile and if I find myself interested I usually open by leaving a few pic comments. Usually that is a good ice breaker for me and after, if they message me or allow the comments, I will try to open a dialouge with them. No real criteria involved.

OH, if they DONT respond I decide to go into stalker mode and hack the main source page to learn all I can about them and send my minions to teach them a lesson for spurning my advances tward friendship. BWA HAHAHAHAHA.
